Over the past 5 years, I’ve been rethinking & letting go of some deeply-held beliefs that shaped my identity since childhood. It’s been a lonely, isolating, and often destabilizing journey. If you are going through something similar, I want you to know you’re not alone.
@ibrycecrawford This brave young evangelist is preaching this graduation sermon to his fellow graduates at …wait for it …Liberty University!
So much courage. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@DrFrankTurek People like you tell us God is:
- omniscient
- omnipresent
- omnipotent
- omnibenevolent
…and he wants nothing more than to be in a personal relationship with me.
If all of this was actually true about God, then non-resistant non-belief would not exist.
@TheMuppetPastor@hookskat And if your standard is the Bible, how do you decide which parts apply in 2026 and which parts you can ignore? Who decided to keep the “hate gays” parts, but completely ignore the “mixing fabrics” and “working on Saturdays (sabbath)” parts?
I pray to a large rock in my back yard, and it works!
When I get what I ask for, I thank the rock.
When I don't get what I ask for, I trust that the rock knows best.
When I do something wrong, I ask the rock to forgive me, and I feel cleansed.
I share my gratitude for all the good things that happen to me with the rock.
And sometimes it's not about expressing gratitude or asking for anything from the rock. It's simply that talking to the rock makes me feel better.
Actually, praying to the rock works in the same way as praying to the God of any religion.

@Pontifex “God does not bless any conflict”?? 🤔
You can argue for peace without pretending the Bible doesn’t repeatedly depict God commanding and carrying out war.
The Bible contains both calls for peace and divinely sanctioned violence. Ignoring one half doesn’t make it disappear.
The loudest Christian nationalist cheerleader for the world’s most prolific liar is hosting an event called “What Is Truth?”.
You’d think it was satire.
It’s not.
And somehow Michael W. Smith is on piano.
You really can’t make this stuff up.

@MikeWingerii Aren’t we blessed that the largest Christian broadcaster in the world provided us with a God-honoring, family-friendly alternative?
